Is there a way of creating a temporary folder in java ? I know of File's static method createTempFile, but this will only give me a temporary file.

Answer 1

I've never seen a good solution for this, but this is how I've done it.

File temp = File.createTempFile(...);
temp.delete();
temp.mkdir();

Answer 2

I write my own utility classes for creating temporary directories and for disposing them when they are not anymore needed. For example like this.

Answer 3

Any reason you can't use the directory defined by the java.io.tmpdir property?

ie

String dirName = System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir");

Answer 4

I would check out this past question in SO for a solution. Or this one!
